    Tattered

    Media:

    Digital - Created in Photoshop CS3 with my 4×5 Wacom Graphire4 Tablet.

    Original Size:

    3300 x 3300 - Designed to be printed at 11in x 11in at 300dpi

    This was created as a prize for the ‘What Makes You Smile?’ photography contest on DeviantArt.

    The figure is based heavily on the photography/modeling of the winner, Nirelleth. Her request was to do a painting based 0n her and her modeling.

    Please go visit Nirelleth at her Deviant Art page and take a look at her First Place Entry!

    I tried to work in as many elements from her modeling and photography as I could… corset, period clothing and hair, mask/masque, lovely fair skin, makeup…

    All in all, I think it turned out very well…

    I ended up using a default Photoshop texture to texturize the wall behind her, which oddly turned out to look very much like I wanted… Unfortunately I haven’t downloaded any really great textures yet on my new desktop, and I couldn’t find a really fitting one.

    The Sun Will Still Rise

    Media:

    Digital - Created in Adobe Photoshop CS3 using my Wacom Cintiq 12wx and finished using my 4×5 Wacom Graphire4 at the tail end there when I had to send my Cintiq back for repairs.

    This piece was referenced from a photo of myself… you can really see me in the face, if you can get past the blue skin.

    I will also post some closeups of this image later, so you can see the teeny details. There is a ton of detail in her face and hair that you can’t see zoomed out like this (this image is at about 8% of full size.)

    Just messing around with something light-hearted and fantasy. I do like how shimmery the skin came out, and am really digging the stained glass look of her wings. I plan on doing some more fairies eventually.

    It is my intention to eventually redo the background… I kinda took the cheap way out with a space scene and photoshop lens flare XD I do love the idea of a space scene like this, but I would like to do it more justice.

    I would also like to come up with a less cliche title; I want something more meaningful and suggestive of the tone of the piece. Titles are always hard for me on my more light-hearted/just-for-fun pieces. The look on her face is what made me come up with the existing title.
